	Yamada Nagamasa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He became involved in Japanese trade activities with South-East Asia during the period of the Red seal ships and settled in the kingdom of Ayutthaya (modern-day Thailand) from around 1612.
		In 1628, one of his ships transporting rice from Ayutthaya to Malacca was arrested by a Dutch warship blockading the city.
		The ship was released once the identity of the owner became clear, since the Dutch knew that Yamada was held in great respect by the King of Siam, and they did not wish to enter into a diplomatic conflict.

	Chemung - Schuyler Chapter - Red Cross. Elmira, NY
		The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, born of a desire to bring assistance without discrimination to the wounded on the battlefield, endeavours, in its international and national capacity, to prevent and alleviate human suffering wherever it may be found.
		Today, the Red Cross emblem is used to identify and protect medical and relief workers, military and civilian medical facilities in combat zones, mobile units, and hospital ships.
		To honor the Swiss origin of this initiative, the symbol of a red cross on a white background (the reverse of the Swiss flag) was adopted.

	Red seal ships - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Red seal ships (朱印船 Shuinsen) were Japanese armed merchant sailing ships bound for Southeast Asian ports with a red-sealed patent issued by the early Tokugawa shogunate in the first half of the 17th century.
		Red Seal ships usually ranged in size between 500 and 750 tons, a size equal or superior to European galleons, but inferior to that of the massive Portuguese carracks, often over 1,000 tons.
		Although few Red Seal Ships are recorded for the areas of modern Indonesia (Java, Spice Islands), possibly because of the remoteness and because of the direct Dutch involvement there, Japanese samurai were recruited by the Dutch in the area.

	Seals and Sea Lions Endangered Species Handbook
		Although a few seals were seen after that time, including the sighting of a small colony on a bank midway between Jamaica and Honduras in 1952, an aerial survey of all possible habitats carried out in 1972, and a 1980 expedition, failed to find any sign that the Caribbean Monk Seal remained alive (Nowak 1999).
		The attitude that seals and other fish-eating animals are depriving humans of food is prevalent in many parts of the world and has resulted in the killing of countless fish-eating mammals and birds.
		Such permits are given to kill seals destroying nets to steal fish and/or having a deleterious effect on commercial fish species through their predation.

	NSI Red Yeast Rice -- 600 mg - 240 Caps - Vitacost
		Red yeast rice (Monascus purpureus) has been used by Chinese cultures as both a food and medicine for thousands of years, and was long praised for its benefits for circulation, digestion, and abdominal pain.
		Red yeast rice is the by-product formed when cooked non-glutinous (less likely to have the grains stick together) rice is covered by a growth of red yeast, and then undergoes the process of fermentation.
		In addition, the cholesterol benefits of red yeast rice may be due to its large amounts of such ingredients as fiber, rice starch, sterols, and fatty acids, all of which have been shown to decrease harmful levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, while also raising levels of HDL ("good") cholesterol.

	Chronology of Asian maritime history
		Chinese ships sailed east to Korea and Japan, and west to India, the Persian gulf and the Red Sea.
		The ship was compartmentalised, with wooden water-tanks on both sides amidships.
		A wooden tag shows that the ship was built in China, by order of the Tofukuji temple in Kyoto (also mentioned is the subordinate Jotenji Tacchu temple in Hakata), left Ningbo in 1323 (3rd year of Shiji), and was bound for Hakata (Fukuoka).

	Junk (ship) Summary
		Articulated ships could also be adapted for military use; incendiary devices placed in the forward portions of the vessel, which was brought up to an enemy position, were uncoupled and left to explode.
		The enormous characteristics of the Chinese ships of the Medieval period is described in Chinese sources, and is confirmed by Western travelers to the East, such as Marco Polo, Ibn Battuta and Niccolo Da Conti.
		A ship carries a complement of a thousand men, six hundred of whom are sailors and four hundred men-at-arms, including archers, men with shields and crossbows, who throw naphtha.

	Canada - the Red Ensign (flag before 1965)
		Until 1922, there were many variations in displaying the shield on the flag: sometimes a white disk was behind the shield, sometimes there was wreath of maple leaves or a wreath of roses, thistles, and shamrocks, and sometimes the shield was topped by a beaver or crown.
		B.C. initially used an unofficial symbol: the royal crest (a crowned lion standing on a crown) with the motto "splendor sine occasu." Sometimes this was flanked by laurel or laurel and oak, and sometimes the letters B and C were to the left and right.
		The British Admiralty approves the Canadian Red Ensign "to be used on board vessels registered in the Dominion." Widespread use of the flag on land continued, even on the Parliament buildings.

	Seemotive, Turtle Boats, Admiral Yi Sun Shin
		Although the turtle boat was relatively heavy ship, the builders had paid attention to speed during its construction.
		Yi used the islands as a shield for his ships and let them attack in the formation of a crane wing, which enclosed the Japanese fleet.
		More than 500 Japanese ships awaited him at the port, but by clever use of fireships and tactics the Koreans were able sink approximately half of the enemy ships.

	Sea Shepherd Conservation Society - Seals
		Canada's commercial seal "hunt" is the largest mass slaughter of marine mammals in the world.
		In the spring of 2005, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the seals had the support of the Sea Shepherd ship Farley Mowat in the ice and crews from the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) who flew by helicopter to the ice when weather permitted.
		The advantage the ship gave to Sea Shepherd was the ability to stay with the sealers in the ice despite the weather.

	Image:Flag of the Red Crystal.svg - Wikimedia Commons
		On December 7, 2005, at an international conference, a new symbol was endorsed for use by the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement societies of the world.
		It will appear as a flag and as a logo on arm bands, buildings, vehicles, ships, etc. The Geneva Convention of 1949 which gives international legal standing to the existing symbols – the Red Cross and the Red Crescent – will be modified accordingly.
		For example, no exact shade red is established nor is the size of the symbol on a flag specified, lest challenges arise about whether or not a given symbol was proper.

	Japan and Christianity - Page 4 - Outpost Nine Forums
		From the time of the acquisition of Macao in 1557, and their formal recognition as trade partners by the Chinese, the Portuguese Crown started to regulate trade to Japan, by selling to the highest bidder the annual "Capitaincy" to Japan, in effect confering exclusive trading rights for a single carrack bound for Japan every year.
		The carracks were very large ships, usually between 1000 and 1500 tons, about double or triple the size of a regular galleon or a large junk.
		Portuguese trade was progressively more and more challenged by Chinese smugglers on junks, Japanese Red Seal Ships from around 1592 (about ten ships every year), Spanish ships from Manila from around 1600 (about one ship a year), the Dutch from 1609, the English from 1613 (about one ship per year).

	Red Lake, Minnesota, Ojibwe Reservation
		Red Lake alone of Minnesota tribes rejected Public Law 280, so unlike other Minnesota reservations, Red Lake retained criminal and civil jurisdiction (except for the federal Major Crimes Act) over its remaining lands and its citizens.
		Red Lake governs itself and does not belong to the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe Federation, which has various economic and other powers over its members, the other Ojibwe reservations in Minnesota, who all belong to the MCT.
		Red Lake rejected this, and goes it alone, though there are many relationships and intermarriages among Anishinaabe peoples of Red Lake and the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe (federation).

	Unearthing Ceramic Histories in Sixteenth- and Seventeenth-Century Japan: Flow
		Trade with Southeast Asia was particularly intense in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, when it was fueled by Japan's massive export of silver.
		Evidence from excavations in Thailand, which have revealed pottery imported from Japan during the seventeenth century, points to one side of this relationship.
		At this time forty-two of the 1,827 permits issued for foreign trade in Kyoto and Nagasaki were for Siamese trade, and in 1633, there was a fleet of over three hundred Japanese ships in Ayuthia.27 Also increasingly apparent in the archaeological evidence is the impact of Southeast Asian ceramics on Japanese ceramic production.
